You can eat whatever and whenever you
like if you take Kodol. By the use of this
remedy disordered digestion and diseased
stomachs are so completely restored to
health, and the full performance of their
functions naturally, that such foods as would
tie one into a double-bow-knot are eaten
without even a “rumbling” and with a posi-
tive pleasure and enjoyment. And what is
more — these foods are assimilated and
transformed into the kind of nutriment that
is appropriated by the blood and tissues.
Kodol is the only digestant or combinatioit'
of digestants that will digest all classes of
food. In.addition to this fact, it contains, in
assimilative form, the greatest known tonic
and reconstructive properties.
Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia and all
disorders arising therefrom.
Kodol Digests What You Eat
Makes the Stomach Sweet.
Bottles only. Regular size, $ 1.00. holding 2lA times
